| Guest | Can't change Display Name I would like to change my Display Name in Windows Live Messenger 8.5 but the option to enter something other than my email address is greyed out. I registered this account through Xbox Live on my 360 so could that be the reason? I'd really like people to see my name instead of my email, not that they're much different, it's just shorter. |

| Guest | Re: Can't change Display Name Greetings Snowpaw, You won't be able to change your name if your Windows Live ID has not been verified. In order to get verified, you need to click the verification link in the verification e-mail that is sent to you when you sign up. If you need a verification e-mail sent to you again, go here: https://account.live.com/verifysi.as...rp=summarypage Additionally, if you have "linked" one of your Live IDs, your account may no longer be verified and that this time there is no workaround to get your account verified when it is linked. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Snowpaw" <Snowpaw@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4E649845-4055-48CA-B6FF-325BEE81D012@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Can't change Display Name Hi, You're very welcome -- sometimes the verification e-mails get caught by spam filters or other problems like that. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Snowpaw" <Snowpaw@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:28125F96-4825-4FA9-997D-192D2782431F@xxxxxx
